...Stimuli 3.0 a lighting system whose shape and therefore light output sensitively varies inversely with the surrounding natural light intensity. For example, at dusk, illumination gradually increases as natural light recedes. At the heart of this device is a unique 3 axis gear box which enables this subtle alteration of lighting through an...

...Stimuli 3.0 lamp is the desk lamp of Darth Vader, the pulsating hyperdrive core of reality-skipping aliens, the unfolding lantern of the Autobot Leadership Matrix, the outer coating of a Dyson Sphere digesting the energy of a swallowed sun. The idea of the Stimuli is simple: the outer panels are adjusted in response to daylight to maintain a...

...Stimuli 3.0 lamp even if it did nothing special. Just look at it, sitting there all science fiction-y, like some huge alien computer's vulnerable data core. But it just so happens that the spherical shape and surrounding panels have a specific function, to constantly adjust the lamp's light levels to correspond with that coming in through the...

...Stimuli 3.0, a shape-shifting device that measures ambient light and adjusts its illumination accordingly, using a three-axis gearbox This is one oddball lamp, one that would go well in an environment designed to perplex and amuse its inhabitants. It might be even better teamed up with some energy-saving LED bulbs . If Chris can actually mass...

...stimuli. Our results show that repetitive scratching induces robust bilateral activation of the secondary somatosensory cortex, insular cortex, prefrontal cortex, inferior parietal lobe, and cerebellum. In addition, we show that the same stimulus results in robust deactivation of the anterior and posterior cingulate cortices. This study...
